A magnet for beach ramblers and rock climbers

Nudging out to Bass Strait Rocky Cape National Park offers spectacular views from many points along its walking tracks. Aboriginal heritage, ship wrecks, rock formations and rolling hills of wilderness are just some of the spectacular sights you’ll find in this rugged wilderness. Listed below are what Rocky Cape National Park is famous for.

Wildlife

Native wildlife is abundant throughout this park. Treading carefully and with a torch, evenings make the perfect time meet wallabies, wombats and possums. Visit Parks and Wildlife Services for more information.

Flora and Fauna

In spring and summer see the hundreds of different plant species in flower, most of them wind, salt and fire tolerant surviving the wild coastal conditions. Many of the 40 orchid species are found in the park, many of which lie dormant underground until fire passes. Image provided by Judith Brown.

Bush walks

Despite being a small park, Rocky Cape offers a variety of walks ranging from less than 20 minutes to a full day. These take in Aboriginal rock shelters and caves, scenic hills full of wildflowers and birds, and tranquil beaches, bays and rocky headlands.
